Max Schubel - Son of Quashed Culch - (Opus One, with Barre Phillips!) Toshi Ichiyanagi / Maki Ishii - Music for Living Process / Cho-Etsu - (Edition RZ)

Don Cherry - Togetherness - (Durium orig) A classic, with Barbieri, Berger, Jenny-Clarke and Aldo Romano. Thankfully available in many forms, but it's always nice to spin the first!

Nikki Sudden & Rowland S. Howard - Kiss You Kidnapped Charabanc - (Creation orig) A friend once told me "this record makes me want to go and score a bag of heroin." That's an understatement.

I have the original FMP vinyl and have not found that one as impressive as the stuff with Mangelsdorff, or even Pica-Pica for that matter. Just my $0.02... carry on.

Various - Sounds of the South - (Atlantic DG blue/green orig) Collected by Alan Lomax.

Excellent read. Thanks.

Various - American Primitive Vol. 1: Raw Prewar Gospel - (Revenant) With Charley Patton, Wm and Versey Smith, Blind Mamie Forehand, Bukka White and many others! My CD was so beat and scratched I went out and bought the vinyl today... I take better care of LPs.

I think it was a fluke. Just one bid-topper and one other goofball. None of the other bids were much higher than $100.

Mmmm, according to the auction description it's an "original Dutch pressing", while the label on the picture clearly mentions "Made in Denmark"... I have that album with the same Folkways-style jacket. And Made in Denmark pressing! This was the original issue. Yeah, the "Dutch" was obviously a goof - it appears to be white-on-black, rather than the white-on-white that I've seen elsewhere. I have the Transatlantic, and have never held the Debut in my hands. I emailed the seller, and they corrected the misinformation...

Right-o... I'd also mention: Lasha/Simmons Shepp/Tchicai Lacy/Potts Wright/Howard

Damn. That dude was hip! RIP.

We will also enjoy in Austin!

Yeah, but I'm also a sucker for correspondence and clippings...

Who killed him?

I'd forgotten about these. I remember them being "pretty good."

Considering the replies, and I support most of the above suggestions, you should! P.S. I also love a lesser known but excellent record Paul Bley Trio, on Radio Canada International label, recorded in Montral 1968, with Mario Pavone on bass and Barry Altschul on drums That one is hopelessly oop, I guess? I doubt it's on CD, though it was pressed at least twice on LP (there are two jackets for it). I'm not sure how those RCI things worked - if they were commercially distributed or not - but it's worth seeking out if you can do vinyl. My deepgroove wasn't cheap, though.

Even with my 5-second snipes and pocketbook-crunching, I still can't get anything off of eBay. Totally 2002.

Yeah, I dig that one too. Charlie Haden's first recording, IIRC.

That's hardcore! I do my best... Still haven't found a replacement copy of Dry as a Bone, though.

Don't think this'll go for TOO much, but the paste-on sleeve is kind of interesting. Brownie, have you seen a Folkways-style jacket for this one? Spirits on Debut

You know, in my time with Pullen, it has been entirely as a pianist - say, with Giuseppi, Nommo or Mingus' Changes. I'll have to check some of these recommendations.
